New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

When the autumn colors entered the deepest, the waves of Chang'an finally gradually subsided. But this is not the end, but a beginning. Since the rectification of the officials launched by the Chang'an court, the wind has surged and swept the counties and counties of the world.

The fate of countless people has changed. A great era not only requires heroism and heroism, but also majesty and iron wrists.

This vigorous rectification is shocking. The scale is not only unprecedented since the founding of the Han Dynasty, but even if you look at the previous dynasties, no one has such courage.

According to later statistics, in a short period of time, nearly 10,000 officials were convicted in this investigation and rectification. It can be described as a thunderous means, and the courage is extraordinary. The rule of the world was cleared, and a good foundation was laid for a new situation that began later.

Although there was such a big commotion, it did not have much impact on the social order. In the eyes of the people of Chang'an and the people of the world, the fact that the rulers of the imperial court can make such a move is enough to show their determination in this regard. As the most beneficiary, he naturally clapped his hands and strongly supported it.

The large-scale advanced rectification led by Prime Minister Gongsun Hong has left a high evaluation in the history books. And he himself has received high praise for this. If it weren't for the sudden accident later, his old age would have ended peacefully under the reverent gaze of all people. However, things in the world are so unpredictable, and tragedy is inevitable.

It's another rainy autumn day. On the streets of Chang'an City, a slight chill has been added. The glazed tiles of Weiyang Palace, after being washed by the rain, washed away the old dust, appear more bright as new.

In the palace where Liu Ju, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, was temporarily acting as government affairs, several figures who were crucial to the current situation had just finished a small discussion.

Not long ago, Yuan Zhao went to Emperor Liu Che's retreat to give him a comprehensive physical examination. His body recovered quickly and he was eating normally. The main thing is that the Gu poison has not recurred. Although Yuan Zhao is not sure that it has been completely eradicated, seeing the emperor's complexion, there should be no big problem.

The emperor, who had been trapped in the palace for a long time, still had a cold face and did not pretend to say anything to him. Even if this young man saved his life and cured him of a rare hidden disease in the world, he never gave him any good face.

Yuan Zhao entered the palace several times to see a doctor, and his expression was very indifferent. It doesn't seem to be the emperor's attitude at all. Whenever he finished the examination, gave a serious advice, and turned away under the respectful gaze of the imperial doctors, he didn't know that there would be many inscrutable things flashing in the emperor's slightly open eyes.

The emperor has been ill for so long, and the imperial court not only did not have difficulty functioning, but seemed to be more efficient. This surprised many people at the same time, a strange thought actually rose in their hearts. It seems that there is no day when the emperor is there, the sky has not fallen, the earth has not fallen, the air is still fresh, and everyone should live how ...... live.

Speaking of which, it seems that the so-called Son of Heaven who rules all the people on behalf of Heaven is like that! Of course, such thoughts are just thinking about it in my heart. No one dares to speak out openly, let alone think about it, and this may be another situation that may arise in the future.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is temporarily in charge of the government, and for the subjects of the world, it still represents the will of the Son of Heaven. At this point, it is absolutely not allowed to be sloppy, let alone casually overstepped.

"Since my father's body is recovering quickly, I want to ...... In a few days, he should return this burden to him. ”

After talking about several important things, and then listening to Yuan Zhao talk about the emperor's recent physical condition, the crown prince Liu Ju said this sentence in front of everyone with a solemn expression.

There was a moment of silence in the palace, and those present did not know for a moment what to do with it. Although the crown prince did not personally make any wise decisions during this time, he adopted kind words and responded to them like a stream, which seemed to be more acceptable to those who were courtiers.

Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting on the right side, glanced up in the direction where Yuan Zhao was, and saw that he didn't mean to speak. He pondered slightly, understanding that Yuan Zhao was naturally inconvenient to express anything publicly in order to avoid suspicion in this matter. He sighed in his heart, and was about to speak, when the corner of his eye moved, but he saw that Prime Minister Sun Hong had already left the table and bowed down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter is in a hurry. The old minister believed that before His Majesty's health was completely well, it was not appropriate to disturb his recuperation with these trivial and complicated court affairs. Of course, it is still indispensable to ask for some necessary instructions on major matters...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not forget that His Majesty's dragon health is not only the expectation of the subjects of the world, but also the embodiment of filial piety in the Han Dynasty! ”

Gongsun Hong looks a little older these days, but his body is straight, thin and stiff, standing there, righteous and awe-inspiring, and he does not shy away from expressing his opinions first.

The rest of the people seated in the hall, some nodded slightly in agreement, and some hesitated slightly, their eyes flashed. , seems to be thinking of a best of both worlds. And someone was silent, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Prime Minister, having said that...... But this country, after all, still needs the father to take the helm! ”

After the crown prince Liu Ju finished speaking, he turned his attention to Yuan Zhao for help. In fact, he was very reluctant to be said in public that would make their father-son relationship even more strained. Even if this is already the case, everyone knows it. But speaking out publicly only complicates his feelings.

As if he had already understood his hidden thoughts, Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and glanced at Gongsun Hong, knowing each other.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't dwell on this issue first. If His Majesty the Emperor feels that he is completely well, he will naturally call you to express it. Since His Majesty has not shown the slightest intention in this regard until now, why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think about it himself? What Prime Minister Gongsun said is not wrong, let His Majesty recuperate well and calm his body and mind...... This in itself is also the best filial piety. ”

The crown prince Liu Ju lowered his eyes and took the opportunity to hide all his emotions. When he looked up again, he already had a smile on his face.

"Alright! Since both the prime minister and the marquis said so, I will naturally follow it. I will do my best to stabilize the current situation with you, and I will live up to the trust of my father and the subjects of the world. ”

Avoiding this pointed question, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Although we all know, sooner or later there will be an unavoidable choice in this matter. But before it happens, it's better to delay as long as you can.

After a while, the big thing is over. Although it is said that the turmoil in the court not long ago did not cause any big chaos in Chang'an, after all, there are thousands of things, and there are many things waiting to be decided and handled. These important courtiers with various responsibilities have a lot of things on hand.

At present, the most urgent matter, in addition to quickly convicting and dealing with all the guilty ministers, is to quickly select and appoint virtuous people to supplement their appointments, so as to fill the vacancies in the court as soon as possible, so that those important posts will not be paralyzed because of the lack of chief officials.

In fact, Yuan Zhao had already done this. Only at this time did some people of insight suddenly realize how great the role of Chang'an College, which was established under the auspices of Yuan Zhao, was really great!

The cradle of cultivating the country's outstanding reserve talents has finally shown its role at such a critical moment. A large number of talented people with excellent character and learning, under the personal assessment of Dong Zhongshu and a group of college professors and doctors, according to their own moral cultivation and talent and their own strengths, recorded and understood in detail one by one, and then solemnly sent these materials related to the major fate changes of many people to Chang'an.

In the near future, after careful review, these young talents will be entrusted with important tasks and embark on their own glorious life journey, contributing to the prosperity and strength of the Han Empire.

Of course, this matter has not yet been made public. Except for a very few important people who know about it, even some people in the temple now don't know about it. After all, such an employment mechanism is only in the experimental stage, and even Yuan Zhao is not completely sure whether it can achieve good results as expected.

The times are different, and the situation is different. Sometimes it doesn't work. Therefore, he has always been cautious in these important matters, and he does not dare to casually apply some practices of later generations.

Most of the guilty ministers of the imperial court have been closed and dealt with. Si Li's Captain's Mansion and Xiuyi Wei joined forces, and their strength grew unprecedentedly. The crown prince gave them high praise, and promised that when the situation stabilized, he would definitely reward the emperor and reward them heavily.

At the end of the left side, the commander of the embroidered guard made Jiang Chong, wearing an obvious costume that looked extraordinarily spiritual. For the crown prince's praise, he humbly expressed his respect. This young and handsome newcomer is still trustworthy.

It's just that when he lowered his head again, no one could see the grim smile that appeared on his face.

It's just killing! No big deal. In the hands of ambitious young people, the embroidered guards have sharpened their incomparably sharp knives. This knife is just waiting to be evaluated!

There are already many courtiers who have died indirectly or directly under this knife. However, Jiang Chong was not satisfied. Once the hidden ambition is opened, there is no end to the future, .......

"The autumn breeze is cool, and the killing field is ...... In the Chang'an situation, there should be more important people to stain blood......! ”

Outside the palace, the autumn rain is endless. The man with a face like a knife and an axe walked out of the temple gate, looked at the people walking in front, and muttered to himself, as soon as he spoke, he was already broken by the raindrops......
